Top 5 Abstinent Vampires: No. 3 — The Citizens of Purgatory
by Tracy V. Wilson | October 28, 2009
When I started pulling my ideas together for this list last week, I sent a message to my Triforce of geek culture at HowStuffWorks.com — TechStuff’s Jonathan Strickland, ScienceStuff’s Robert Lamb and editor Chanel Lee — asking if they had ideas. I had a pretty clear idea of where I wanted to go, but I wanted to know if they’d seen something I missed. Among their responses was a note from Jonathan about a movie I’d never heard of, called “Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat.”
News sources have been reporting this morning that actor David Carradine, age 73, has been found dead in his hotel room in Bangkok. At this point, the reports are a little conflicting. According to The Nation, police have said that Carradine hanged himself. But according to ABC, Carradine’s agent has said his death was of natural causes.
